Ain't no magic tool to fix it
(magic tools are often associated with myths and fairytails such that they have the power to overcome and obstacles.
- for example, like a wand, it has the ability to showcase any magic with just a wave and a spell.
- this line refers to the lack of power to make amends of a relationship.)
You should keep your distance
( keeping a distance refers to the provision of space such that no contact is being made.
the idea of stepping away from someone often asserts the idea that thet believe things would not work out for them.
- use of high modality ~ 'you should' )
I'm only telling you because I care
( despite the issues or obstacles, special treatments are always given to the ones they care the most.
- to people they hope for the best
- exception )
'Cause I'm hard to love, find it hard to trust
When it feels too good, I just fuck it up
( dilemma between expectations and reality.
- the fear of messing up because something is too perfect; vulnerability
- use of juxtoposition ~ 'good & fuck it up' ~ contrasting the different scenarios ~ cause and effect situation
- use of emotive langauge ~ 'love & trust' ~ emotions often revolving around people they feel comfortable with.)
You want all of me, I can't give that much
( human greed leads to nothing.
- the desire to have something all to oneself but not being able to receive it
- barrier/wall being created due to the lackof trust ~ 'i cant give that much' ~ fear of being vulnerable )
So don't fall too hard, 'cause I'm hard to love
( advising for one's own good ~ referring back to caring for someone
- use of repetition 'hard' ~ emphasis on the difficulty faced if one chooses to ignore the suggestion
- obstacles and consequences would be face ~ referring back to the lack of trust, distance created, barrier made )
I'm hard to love
Yeah-hey (hard to love)
(more repetition to emphasis statement)
Never meant to cause you a problem
Here I am, yet once again with the same old story
( unintentional outcome ~ not the first time; déjà vu)
- the minimal control over such situation
- creating issues despite not wanting to)
You don't see the issues, I got 'em
Yeah, I do (yeah, I do) yeah, it's true (yeah, it's true)
( different perspective of the story where one focuses on flaws
- refers back to causing one the problen yet they dont see it themselves
- use of repetitions ~ ' yeah, i do' & 'yeah, it's true' ~ may represent the voices inside ones head, convincing they are the issue; overthinking )
I'll make it feel like Heaven, but I swear I'm not a saint
And you won't see the truth 'causе I'll be kissing it away
( wherein impressions created may lead to ones downfall; manipulation
- use of juxtoposition + allusion ~ 'heaven' & 'not a saint' ~ contrasts of ideologies
- 'heaven' is believed to be the place the afterlifes go to after passing, however it is only available to people who have not sinned
- 'saints', in Christian faith, are believed to be the holy, honest, and virtuous beings that belong to heaven after death.
- the idea of being blinded with love that problems and flaws are disregarded
- to protect one from witnessing the reality ~ as reality is often labelled as cruel in certain aspects --> especially love
- refers back to caring and creating distance to protect one )
Yeah, I'll be all you need until I'm driving you insanе
Baby, all I'm tryna do is save you the pain
( human desires are temporary.
- loving one until there is nothing else to love; the act of growing bored
- the dilemma between expectations and reality through perceptions
- once again, in attempt to prevent one from being hurt ~ 'save you the pain' ~ links back with caring and hoping the best for them)
'Cause I'm hard to love, find it hard to trust
When it feels too good, I just fuck it up
You want all of me, I can't give that much
So don't fall too hard 'cause I'm hard to love
I'm hard to love
Yeah-hey (hard to love)
( continuous repetition to further justify ones argument --> emphasizing the cruel reality behind falling in love with someone who finds it hard to trust)
Up 'til I'm down, I'm all in 'til I'm out
( the determination and commitment in a relationship and life
- use of juxtoposition ~ 'up & down' + 'in & out' ~ contrasting the different acts
- playing with words to make statement flow coherently
Got a lot to work out 'til it's all behind me
( to make amends with both internal and external turmoils
- to focus on one self ~ overcoming obstacles
- constantly fighting the difficulty of loving one; harsh )
You know you don't play with fire in the dark
Protect your heart, ain't no goin' back once you start
I'm tryna be nice
( no matter how cruel one might be, to the person they care, it is almost impossible to provide special treatments
- least one could do is to warn and advise them to not over step the barrier
- the fear of breaking the love ones due to another's problematic state
- use of idiom ~ 'dont play with fire' ~ the danger and risk it may result in greater harm and problems
- use of imperative langauge ~ 'protect your heart' ~ commanding one for their own good ~ once you start, you cannot back out; commitments
- the sacrafice made in order to protect one; priorities ~ version of love)
I'm hard to love
Yeah-hey (hard to love)
( final request.
- directs straight back to the title/statement
- you cannot love without fighting for it)
